Описание: #convicts #tasmania #cruelty

We visit Australia's oldest existing and best preserved gaol.
Richmond Gaol as it is seen today, was built over a period of 15 years. From 1825 until 1840. The oldest part of the complex is the 1825 building which provided night and day for the prisoners as well as the Gaolers. From all accounts life was a little to crowded and so over the years additional buildings were added, the Gaoler's Residence was added in 1834, the cookhouse, solitary confinement cells and women's quarters were. added in 1835. The surrounding Walls were added in 1840.
From 1877 until 1928 Richmond Gaol was utilised as the local lock up and was then closed down.

The buildings were constructed of local sandstone from a nearby quarry and built by convict labour.

The museum opened its doors in the 1940's as a historic site and visitors attraction.
